Research interests: My theoretical interests lie with the ethnocultural processes of various peoples, systems for archiving of folklore materials, studies on oral and literary epics and questions of ethnic and national identity. Rather than trying to reconstruct poetic systems, I am aiming at creating a broader ethnocultural theory taking in not only the poetic traditional systems in their natural environments, but also the manifold processes of textualisation in literary cultures, including the use of traditional meanings in new settings. As a result of fieldwork carried out I have become familiar with many traditional cultures. The leading ethical questions have to do with reciprocity and the foregrounding of the culture valuable to the people for study so that the research may benefit these people, too.

Research interests: My post-doctoral project Hand-written newspapers as an alternative medium in 19th and early 20th-century Finland is funded by Academy of Finland 2007–2009. The project focuses on hand-written newspapers, which have been an exceptionally rich and long-lived tradition in Finland. The study is based on several case studies with a time range from the1850s to the 1910s. The basic questions are: What socio-cultural functions did the hand-written newspapers serve in 19th-and early 20th-century Finland? What kinds of genres and means of narration were typical to handwritten newspapers? How did they relate to printed publications and the oral tradition?
